John Bakarich III

First and foremost, John is a family man who has been married to his wife, Melanie, for 20 years. They have 3 boys; twins Jack & Dane (12) and Dax (7). He enjoys hunting/fishing, BBQing and golfing, as well as sponsoring and coaching youth sports.

John was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas and attended Kansas State University where he received a Bachelor of Science in Construction Science and Management from the College of Engineering. After being fast-tracked from Project Manager to Director of Operations in a short period of time, it became clear that creating his own business and leading others was necessary. Baron Contracting was established in 2006 with the mission to become a “Class A” Commercial General Contractor in Kansas City, providing a level of service and quality that did not exist. His vision to build a legacy of excellence within the industry and throughout individual communities remains the same today.

He has strong ties to the local community and his past and present board terms include many local non-profit organizations such as The American Red Cross, Kansas City’s Entrepreneurs’ Organization, and the YMCA. In 2014, he and Melanie established a foundation named Train It Forward. This organization is dedicated to teaching life-saving skills and spreading water safety knowledge to the Kansas City community through free, convenient, and fun training-based events. In 2017, John was elected to the Piper USD 203 Board of Education and continues to give back by lending his professional expertise and oversight as they build new schools.

Baron Contracting completely changed our thinking about the client/contractor relationship. They became our partners rather than our adversaries.

Their professionalism throughout the project and their refusal to accept anything but near perfection from their subs set this company apart from any we have worked with — regardless of the industry.”

“Lansing Trade Group’s experience with Baron Contracting has always been excellent. We’ve used their team on a number of projects in our current corporate space over the last 12 years, including a recent 40,000 square foot complete remodel, and they have never disappointed. Baron’s team is cooperative, innovative and, above all else, professional. They pride themselves on providing quality work that is performed both timely and efficiently. With this most recent project, they performed above and beyond our expectations due to the unique challenges of this full-scale remodel, with all personnel remaining on-site. They overcame all obstacles by providing flexibility in their scheduling, anticipating any problems and quickly communicating those issues along with their proposed solutions or changes to the original scope of work. While I personally hope we are done with remodeling projects for a while, I will not hesitate to call Baron whenever that situation changes!”
